Abel orchestrated an elaborate green card wedding between former Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin, and a young White Anglo Saxon Protestant woman.

He hired some of his actor friends to play the roles of the bride, the priest and a team of bodyguards. Alan found an Idi Amin look-alike while riding on the subway.

The lavish ceremony took place at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan and attracted a roomful of eager news reporters, as well as the FBI, CIA and the State Department.
